Andy Black Heroes We Were Lyrics
Heroes We Were by Andy Black
When we were young we knew everything
Straight from our innocence
I lost a (?) with our worlds
As we grew tired and jaded
The colors have faded
Fire would no longer burn
All the anger and hunger
The shames and desires
Hanging our hope by a string
Never had doubts of the future
Knew we'd never get back
We are the kings of our dreams
All the best laid plans
Slipped through my hands
You know we can run til the day that we're dead
Or stay here and fight and pretend we're not scared
Can we make it back to the heroes we were?
'Cause we can scream til the world has gone deaf
Fall on our knees if that's all we've got left
Can we make it back to the heroes we were?
Can we
Save this
And bring us back to the heroes we were? (x2)
Empires have fallen and joy can be stolen
When things are much worse than you think
The streets all have broken, my memory holding
On to the songs that we'd sing
We started with something
But ended with nothing
Losing but praying to win
Let go as we're falling
I can't hear them calling
Give in to all of our sins
All the best laid plans
Slipped through my hands
You know we can run til the day that we're dead
Or stay here and fight and pretend we're not scared
Can we make it back to the heroes we were?
'Cause we can scream til the world has gone deaf
Fall on our knees if that's all we've got left
Can we make it back to the heroes we were?
Can we
Save this
And bring us back to the heroes we were? (x2)
When the future's ending
They will (?) empty
Don't let me down, don't let me down
Don't let me down
Yeah we could make it back then
Though all we have is nowhere
Turn it around
Turn it around
Turn it around
No one can find us when time has escaped us
How did we fall through the cracks
It's empty out here
Where the world disappears
One day we'll find our way back
You know we can run til the day that we're dead
Or stay here and fight and pretend we're not scared
Can we make it back to the heroes we were?
'Cause we can scream til the world has gone deaf
Fall on our knees if that's all we've got left
Can we make it back to the heroes we were?
Can we
Save this
And bring us back to the heroes we were? (x2)
Straight from our innocence
I lost a (?) with our worlds
As we grew tired and jaded
The colors have faded
Fire would no longer burn
All the anger and hunger
The shames and desires
Hanging our hope by a string
Never had doubts of the future
Knew we'd never get back
We are the kings of our dreams
All the best laid plans
Slipped through my hands
You know we can run til the day that we're dead
Or stay here and fight and pretend we're not scared
Can we make it back to the heroes we were?
'Cause we can scream til the world has gone deaf
Fall on our knees if that's all we've got left
Can we make it back to the heroes we were?
Can we
Save this
And bring us back to the heroes we were? (x2)

When things are much worse than you think
